Responding to Jordansmom769

She is making a pun by using the word "gabardoon" instead of "gabardine" so her jingle will rhyme. The jingle was for a clothing cleaner and gabardine is a type of fabric made of woven cotton or wool. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know what gabber doon means?

When Alice tells one of the jingles she thought of, the ending was "gabber doon" (however it's spelled). Then says it's a pun.

In response to Jordansmom769's question regarding "gabber doon," the answer seems difficult to pin down for certain. However, Alice could have been referring to gaberdine--a tough, tightly woven fabric usually used to make protective outerwear. Mike Brady was probably playing with the word "pun" in saying "poon."
